Are You "Stateless" or "State of Stateless"???

I had a good laugh today, even though its the "Ouch!" kind of humor. A friend reported on what is going on in Texas.

They still don't get the fact that they have a State of the Union called "Texas" which is the only claim to a birthright that they have.

They are still mistaking the loss of Municipal and Territorial "States of States" as the loss of their State --- Texas.

That's like mistaking your own dog for your neighbor's refrigerator.
And people all over --- not just Texas --- are so gullible that they buy into this "verbiage", and though they don't know what it means, they assume that they do....

I have it on very good authority from the person who coined the word "verbiage" that he meant it to imply "words used so deceitfully or with such little true meaning as to be come the verbal equivalent of garbage".

And that is what this "stateless" meme is and the false claims behind it, too. Verbal garbage.

No American is "stateless" unless they voluntarily abandon their own State of the Union.

There are some Americans who have ignorantly agreed to be identified as Municipal "citizens of the United States" who will be left "stateless" in a sense, because their corporations operating as "STATE OF STATES" like the "STATE OF MISSISSIPPI" are going away, but that is not the same thing as being "stateless".

These Municipal "STATES OF STATES" never had any right to exist here in the first place, and now that the Municipal United States is bankrupt, even less reason to be here.

If the Territorial "States of States" also go away, that's no cause to think you are "stateless" either.

Anyone born in this country is welcome to reclaim their birthright as an American and as a Minnesotan, Vermonter, Floridian, Californian...... and so on. Whichever State you were born in is your State. Claim it by declaring your correct political status, recording it, and joining your State Assembly.

The actual States are all still here. So. The only reason you should ever be "stateless" is if you are gullible and/or fail to reclaim your birthright political status.

Now, all those Texans have been told the truth about this numerous times, but they still have this tendency to get lost in the verbiage just like getting lost in a cactus patch and with much the same result.

They don't know that a "Confederate State" is in fact a Federal State of State. They don't know that Texas, the State of the Union, is an actual State and not a State of State.

And because they mix up the two different kinds of things that are both being called "states" it's easy for them to mistake their own dog for a neighbor's refrigerator.

These people need and deserve their State as much as anyone else, and it does hurt me to think that any of them are going to be cheated out of what is owed to them because of verbiage.

So here's one more try for the sake of the Alamo:
Texas is your State and it is right under your feet. You are a Texan if you were born within the borders of Texas. Period. That's your actual nationality.

You weren't ever naturally born in the Territorial "State of Texas" nor were you ever naturally born in the Municipal "STATE OF TEXAS".
Those are both foreign political statuses pertaining to Federal Employees and their dependents. British Territorial United States Citizens are called "United States Citizens" and are usually military personnel. Municipal United States Federal Civil Service Employees are called "citizens of the United States".

Those folks, if they are Americans, all need to "come home" and even if they remain "Dual Citizens" which is allowed under the Federal Constitutions, they need to reclaim their birthright political status as at least one of the two citizenship(s) they can hold.

Otherwise, if both of these foreign "state of state" corporations go bankrupt, the Federal Employees will be "state of stateless" with no true State of Origin on record, out of a job with no place to go, no excuse for being here.

Helluva a situation for them and that's where you will be, too, if you let these funny balloon salesmen tell you that you are "stateless" just because they are.

If you are a Texan, claim Texas. If you are a Virginian, claim Virginia. Get off your silly butts and declare your proper political status.
Ninety-percent of you aren't Federal Employees of any kind and have no reason in the world not to claim who you are and who you have always actually been.

And even the Federal Employees who were born here in this country have no excuse and no reason for not claiming their birth State as one of their Dual Citizenship(s).

Remember --- our States of the Union don't recognize any Dual Citizenship, so people can't act as a State Citizen and vote in their State Assembly at the same time they are employed by the Federal Government and claiming some form of "US" citizenship.

But also remember that so far as the Federal Government is concerned, Dual Citizenship is okay. You can keep your federal job and if it goes away, and you are left with only your State National status, you can still come home and you are still not "stateless" so long as you have the good sense to claim your original birthright political status as a Texan or Vermonter or wherever else you were born.

So--- here's the best advice about dogs and refrigerators.

If you are Joe Average American working in a private sector job, not on any Federal welfare (that is, receiving actual unearned Federal Benefits, not talking about or counting payment you earned as a result of military or other service) and not seeking political asylum from the Federales, declare your proper political status as an American State National (Texan, Ohioan, Minnesotan.....Whichever) and consider joining your State Assembly as a State Citizen.

If you are a Federal Employee or Dependent of some stripe, declare your birthright political status as one of the two citizenship(s) you can have, and be proud of your nationality as a Texan, Ohioan, Minnesotan...... and look forward to the day when you can retire or quit Federal citizenship obligations and re-join your State Assembly ---and inherit back all your rights and property assets.

So long as you were born or properly naturalized here and you claim a State of the Union as your permanent home and domicile, you are never "stateless".

The Municipal Government

The Municipal United States Government was created by the original Constitutional Agreements, and specifically by The Constitution of the United States adopted in 1790.

The current updated version of The Constitution of the United States was commonly available in bookstores as recently as 2012, when I picked up a copy at Barnes and Noble. It is a simplified, stripped-down version of the original written in modern English with several key restrictions and limitations removed, apparently without notice to or consent of the People presumed to be upholding the other end of the agreement.

I can tell you that reading it was quite a shock to my sensibilities after a lifetime of dealing with the difficulties of reading 18th century legal documents. I can also tell you that like so many other books, documents, court cases, and quotations that have been altered or buried or burned to serve political agendas during the past one hundred and fifty years, when I went back to buy a few more copies, it had disappeared. Out of print.

The physical location of the Municipal United States Government is limited to the ten miles square of Washington, DC, enclosed within the Boundary Stones of that "independent, international city-state" chartered by the Roman Curia and originally administered by the Holy See from 1790 to 1933, whereupon its administration was unlawfully converted and taken over by the Roman Pontificate--- the pagan Holy Roman Empire promoting itself as the "Secular Church".
Apparently this profane religion adores oxymoron expressions and purposefully proliferates such nonsense in order to further promote confusion and illogical thinking. Maybe also as an intelligence test?

This pagan Municipal United States Government has been operating under Roman Civil Law on our shores and its rulers are plenary oligarchs -- the members of "the" United States Congress, as stipulated at Article I, Section 8, Clause 17.

The clear intention of the Founding Fathers was to establish a capital city where everyone could meet in pleasant and secure circumstance, and on even terms. The members of Congress were entrusted to form a city government and keep it in good order for the intended purposes.

That same government has, since 1945, acted to grossly defraud and dis-serve the American States and People and has usurped upon their lawful government for 150 years, acting in perennial Breach of Trust, and since 1934, with increasing boldness and disregard of any law.

They prefer to practice "the Rule of Law" which is no actual Law at all, but merely a proliferation of Court Rules and Procedures designed to enable them to obtain whatever end result their minions desire simply by interpreting certain words in different ways and claiming "judicial discretion".

This same foreign municipal government has established Municipal Districts and Municipal Courts and Municipal STATES OF STATES in every State of the Union, expanded its administration with over 350 new "Agencies" and allowed those agencies to operate under color of law on our shores.

Via the use of "Federal Block Grants" used as bribes with undisclosed consequences---basically kickbacks from racketeering--- the Municipal Government has expanded to over 185,000 municipalities and municipal corporations in this country. And none of them have any right to be here.

The intent of the Founders and Signers of the original Constitutions to provide a congenial meeting place on the banks of the Potomac and their equally simple entrusting of this duty and oversight of the capitol city government to later members of Congress, has been grotesquely expanded and trampled, and stands against the Constitutions, including The Constitution of the United States. As such, their actions and presumptions are null and void.

It is a peculiarity of the Roman Civil Law that the Municipal Government adopted, that you can lie, cheat, steal, and defraud to your hearts delight, so long as you don't get caught. However, once fraud is discovered, everything tainted by it must be disallowed and wiped clean: fraud vitiates everything.

The Great Fraud was discovered by loyal Americans in 1980 and initial action was taken to oppose and expose it.

The Municipal United States Government has been operating against the requirements of the Roman Civil Law ever since, and has continued to defraud Americans and racketeer against them in criminal violation of their Constitutional obligations.

In 2004 these same Americans reported an uptick in Municipal Agency activity aimed at militarization of Municipal Police, importation of foreign military personnel, vast inexplicable building projects staged in Free Trade Zones and the development of FEMA relocation camps, apparently using the same plan as Hitler's Concentration Camps.

We accordingly took our objections to the Holy See in Rome, which is also the seat of government for the Roman Pontificate. We pointed out that our agreements are with the Holy See, not the Roman Pontificate.

We expressed our concerns and objected to the mistreatment, fraud, and mis-characterization of Americans as "citizens of the United States", the threatening actions undertaken by the Municipal United States Government in violation of their Constitutional obligations, and much more.

For the next seven years, we served Notice and Due Process upon Municipal Employees at all levels of the Municipal United States Government, including members of the Municipal United States Congress. In 2011, the Holy See closed the Roman Pontificate and moved to liquidate the underlying trusts. In 2014, we finished the Notice and Due Process, and issued our findings as a Final Civil Order Judgment.

We also issued General Civil Orders to the Joint Chiefs in July of 2014, alerting them to the looming danger posed by militarization of the municipal police and Agency Personnel, construction of concentration camps on our soil, purchase of billions of rounds of ammunition and other vast armament supplies including 30,000 guillotines by the Municipal United States Government, the presence of foreign -- especially Chinese factory workers in large numbers in Free Trade Zones located at critical communication and transportation hubs, and the sale of military equipment and natural resources such as Uranium to both the Russians and Chinese Governments by members of the Municipal Government.

In this way, their cover was blown and no plausible deniability remained for the Joint Chiefs, either.

With the selection of Pope Francis and the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI, progress ground to a halt. Nothing truly effective has been done to shut down the operations of the rogue Municipal United States Government, which owes its charter to the Roman Curia. Their operations were liquidated on paper, but they were allowed to form a new series of corporations, and sail right on. The Great Fraud allowed by the Roman Pontificate and its minions in Washington, DC, has not been exposed to the people of this country, much less to the world, and the criminality underlying it has not been brought under control, much less to a stop.

Instead, we have reports of municipal franchise corporations and municipal agency personnel --which have been heavily supplied with military grade armaments via the process already described-- getting "ready for action" against innocent American civilians.

The lawful government of this country, The United States of America, has done and is doing everything that it can do to protect the people and to recoup the purloined assets of this country. We have called out the Holy See and we hold the Roman Catholic Church and the Roman Curia absolutely responsible for this Gross Breach of Trust and commercial contract; we also hold the British Monarch responsible for these crimes against us.

Let it be set before the whole world and particularly the members of the United Nations Organization, that the Roman Curia controls all incorporated governments via the issuance of charters, so that action by the United Nations is ultimately action undertaken by the Pope.
Let it be seen that the Roman Curia also holds the charter and is responsible for the Municipality of Washington, DC, and that any action undertaken by the Municipal United States Government is also ultimately action undertaken by the Pope.

Finally, let it be seen that the Pope also indirectly controls the British Territorial United States, which is a Commonwealth overseen by the British Monarch in behalf of the Pope.

All roads lead to Rome, and any "civil war" engaged in on our soil in violation of our Public Law and our Land Law and our international treaties and our solemn trust indentures and the service contracts owed to us, is fronted by the Pope on both sides of the issue.

Whereupon we bring forward our condemnation of the Pope and the Roman Curia for promoting and allowing this situation to exist and for pretending that they are not fully responsible for it and accountable to our lawful Government for this circumstance.

The Pope cannot fight against himself, and he cannot order his minion, the Queen, to fight against him, either, and have any plausible excuse for the disruption, bloodshed, and misery this one man is proposing to cause by fomenting a phony civil war on the soil of a foreign nation -- ours.

We ask all treaty and alliance members for their urgent assistance to prevent any such travesty, and ask them to begin Counterpoint Operations to make sure that the Pope and the Queen both receive our message via taking up stations.

The same Roman Pontificate which has used the Catholic Church as a storefront for its venal operations is proposing to use the United Nations in the same way --- as a storefront to hide its own unsavory activities and get innocent people to pay for their own destruction.

As long as the governments of the various countries continue to operate as incorporated franchises under charter and patent of the Roman Curia, this is a foregone conclusion, and so is the predatory criminality with which the Holy Roman Empire has fostered and formed the threat of global Corporate Feudalism.

So now you know what we are up against and who is behind it, no matter how they twist and turn it. This is just another instance of "Holy Roman Empire" war-mongering for profit, another instance where these pirates in clerical costume and nice suits propose to kill off their Primary Creditors rather than return our purloined assets to us--- and offer to use our own assets and our own deluded countrymen to do their dirty work, too.

Let every American wake up and smell the java. Let every officer of every Municipal Agency lay down his gun or never pick it up. Let every official of the Municipal United States Government hang their heads in shame.

In the same way that they have waged a secretive and unholy war by guile and deceit upon the American States and People, they have promoted the same aims of "quiet conquest" against the whole world and every national government, and they now propose to ignore even their own Roman Civil Law.

Many members of the United States Military and the Federal Civil Service have been led astray by promises of great wealth and reward for themselves.

The bankers have led them on and they have sold their honor for nothing.

And this, to date, is the status of the Municipal United States Government.

Please Note:
Whatever law you stand under, you subject yourselves unto.

Repeat: whatever law you stand under, you subject yourselves unto.

Repeat: whatever law you stand under, you subject yourselves unto.

How many times do I have to repeat this simple fact?

If you occupy your proper birthright political status, you can act in one of two possible capacities: (1) State National; (2) State Citizen.

A State Citizen takes up the responsibilities of self-governance at the State and Local Level. He or she agrees to serve as a Juror and may or may not be elected to various offices serving the actual State or County Government.

Our States and Counties are all unincorporated.

Our States and Counties do not recognize Dual Citizenship and do not allow Dual Citizens to participate in State Assemblies; our Forefathers considered Dual Citizenship a source of conflict of interest according to the Biblical injunction: no man can serve two masters.

I know many patriots who spend huge amounts of time arguing about Federal Codes. This only makes sense if you are a British Territorial Federal Employee, that is, a United States Citizen. If you are a British Territorial United States Citizen, you stand under Federal Code.

Otherwise, the only possible reason to study or know Federal Code is to hold British Territorial United States Citizens accountable to their own "law".

But you don't do that by arguing with them about their duties in court.
If you are standing in their Court, arguing their Law, what is the Judge supposed to think? Answer: they are going to think you are standing under that law, too, which means you are subjecting yourself as a Federal Citizen.

Why on Earth would any American do that?

If you are an American, and you are owed your Constitutional guarantees, say so. Correct your political status. Place your declarations and re-conveyances in the public record.

And the only purpose you ever have in learning or reciting any Federal Code is to spell back to THEM what their obligations are. So what do you have to do when you tell them THEIR law so as to hold them to it? You owe them full disclosure of the facts.
And what are the facts?

(1) You are not a Federal Employee or Dependent;

(2) You do not stand under the Federal Code;

(3) You are telling them their own obligations under their own law--not offering to stand under Federal Code;

(4) You are not a member of a political party or any religious cult and are addressing them as one of the people of ____________. (Your State, not any "State of State".)

The Municipal Government is mis-characterizing you as the members of a :"federal" religious cult under "voluntary" contract to donate everything you are and own to them, including income taxes every April 15th. Such a "citizen of the United States" is a slave by definition.

The Territorial Government is mis-characterizing you as a British Territorial United States Citizen --- Federal Employee or Dependent, a member of a political party, "voter", "resident", ---a foreigner in your own country.

None of these Courts deal in any kind of law that "generally" applies to you.

These foreign courts are designed to deal in international and global contract law and proceed on the basis of legal presumptions to the effect that:

(1) you are a corporation; or

(2) you are a franchise of a corporation, or

(3) you are an officer, either elected or appointed, of a corporation;

and

(4) you are a Party to a contract involving subject matter within the jurisdiction of their court.

You must clearly state the capacity in which you are acting, and in which you are NOT acting, and when you walk into one of their courts, it's best to have evidence on the public record supporting your claim to be an American having the standing to act as an American already established.

Otherwise, it looks like you are just evading and dodging consequences of foreign citizenship obligations.

This is not rocket science. It's just common sense once you step back and look at it. They are they and we are we, and never the twain shall meet. You cannot stand on the dry land and at the same time, be adrift on the sea.

So. Think about it. Think about what you are doing. Who you are. And how you are presenting yourself.

When THEY have controversies THEY take refuge in THEIR courts.
When we have controversies, we give them Notice in the Court and in the Administrative and in the Legislative and Executive Forums.

As Americans we do not "generally" recognize their legislatures at the State of State level, nor do we recognize their Congresses. Why?

Because we are on the land and they are on the sea. So we don't address their congresses and legislatures the same way that their own "persons" do.

We can issue Notice of Infringement, Violation of Contract, Breach of Trust or any number of other offenses. We can issue Declarations of Protest and we can issue Declarations of Remonstance, both, but Writs do not "generally" appear in their courts or legislatures at all.

Most of those who contact me are in trouble of some kind. While I sympathize, the help that I can offer is limited to sharing information that numerous people can take advantage of. I have too much work to do to provide counsel to individuals, and the members of The Living Law Firm are equally overwhelmed.

Likewise, unless you have something that you really feel is of importance on a broader scale, please don't write and send me details of individual cases. There is no way that we can help at the individual level.

What we aim to do is force systemic change affecting everyone for the better: end the foreclosure frauds --- all of them; recoup the assets and credit owed to Americans --- all of it, for everyone.

Or as my friend said, "We are after the arsonists. We can't stop to fight brush fires."

Not only that, we are after the arsonists on an international level, so, that is yet another step beyond the normal fight.

The United States of America [Unincorporated] is your Federation of sovereign and unincorporated States, the lawful government of this country, and the only entity that can step up and as a Lawful Person, reclaim the land, the gold, the silver, and all else that is owed to the American States and People.

Please help in any and all ways that you can. With prayers, with love, with forbearance for all the things we can't do with a wave of our hands, with faith and with generosity, with determination, and with time, with volunteer work, with efforts to educate others and spread the word, with might and with main, with pennies and with dollars, with ideas and with hours ---- this is our country and our government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

There is no other --- no other State Citizens properly declared and "returned" and able to act as "People", having the standing to claim and demand the return of all American assets, able to enforce the Constitutions, and able to stand before the nations of the world with sovereignty equal to any.

Please, look around you, think of what you can contribute, what you can do, to help yourself and others.

There are times when I get thousands of emails in a single day, hundreds of cards and letters, packages, court filings, copies of records, books, publications from decades and centuries past ---- it's often a mad house trying to sort through it all, and though I try to read everything and respond as I can, the response time is slow due to the sheer volume of mail and the work load.

My advice to everyone is --- don't wait. Don't think that you can ride the fence. Almost every day I get communications from people who are desperately trying to resolve problems that arose because they didn't take action to reclaim their correct political status sooner. As a result they are being prosecuted as Federal Citizens, and have to fight from inside the box ---- a much tougher proposition than would be possible if they had acted to reclaim their correct political status earlier.

Are you an American? Or a Federal Employee or Dependent?

It's really a pretty easy question to answer, once you understand that Federal Retirees, both Military and Civil Service, are NOT "Federal Dependents" just because they get health care or pensions. Neither are people receiving Social Security.

If you are getting payments or services that you worked for, contributed to, and earned --- you are NOT a "Federal Dependent" or "welfare recipient" ---- you are an American Retiree receiving Earned Program Dividends, not welfare "benefits" ---- and you are free to live where you like and adopt the law and the political status you are owed.

185,000 Mistakes?

I recently took the time to explain the Big Picture Problem of the Municipal United States Government—-what it is and who controls it and how far off track it has gone.

So what besides forming a stable clean government for Washington, DC, is the Municipal Government supposed to do?

The Municipal Government is also called the Civil Government and it is in charge of the Federal Civil Service Employees and their functions.

Originally, the non-military functions of the Federal Government were largely performed by the American States of America Confederation and the Municipal Civil Government was limited to providing postal service and a well-run Capitol city and little else.

Following the Civil War the role of this foreign subcontractor was vastly expanded and it began doing work originally entrusted to the Confederation — it took over the patent, trademark and copyright offices, the Government Land Office, the banks, the US Mint, the Customs Houses and Port Authorities, the Coast Guard, the Railroads and Highway System— all of which were supposed to be controlled and run by the Confederation of States-of-States dba States of America.

By simply not disclosing the facts to the American Public, the “Reconstruction” of the States of America was stalled and eventually set aside, and the foreign interloper fronted by the Holy See settled in.

The next phase of development saw the Municipal “Civil” Government proliferating itself like a cancer. Instead of doing all the extra work itself, the Municipal United States Government started hiring subcontractors and creating Agencies.

This is how we wound up with a foreign subcontractor hiring more subcontractors “for” us—- and actually dodging the duties, so as not to be directly accountable.

They hired the Federal Reserve.

They hired the United States Postal Service.

They basically farmed out all the work, like house maids hiring house maids for themselves and all on our credit.

By the end of FDR’s Administration there were around 350 new “Federal Agencies” all empowered to make their own laws and regulations and enforce them as “Administrative Code”.

Thus, we now had unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats writing “laws” and imposing them on us.

Over time, many of these Agency contractors became corrupt or were directly misdirected by the Municipal Congress to serve political agendas instead of providing any true service to us.

We were devolving into a Robber Baron mentality in which the Cabinet Level Department Secretaries could and did direct the “outside” agencies to do their dirty work.

Thus we have the Department of Justice colluding with the CIA, MI-6, DHS, FBI and so on, to illegally wire-tap and spy on the Trump Campaign, using all the equipment and manpower we pay for, to serve their own political and payola objectives.

And they think this is okay.

Some of the worst abuses have occurred at the US Patent and Trademark Office, where blatantly criminal business models and technologies were protected under patents.

But, by far the worst and most problematic development has been the chartering of over 185,000 “Municipal Government Corporations” and letting these THINGS masquerade as local level governments.

This is how we get “sanctuary cities” and other aberrations in conflict with actual Public Law and government in this country and NONE of these entities are supposed to be here.

The Holy See owes it to us and everyone else to come clean, explain the situation, fully disclose everything, and liquidate all the Municipal Government charters.

Obviously, the Pope does not want to do this and would prefer to start a Civil War instead. Thus far he has not even offered to sit down and negotiate a settlement of these issues with us, the States and People being usurped upon and harmed by this unconscionable situation.

At any time in the past 150-plus years, the Popes and the British Monarchs could have done their duty as our Trustees. They could have fully disclosed the situation at the end of the Civil War and assisted us in organizing new elections. They could have assisted the Reconstruction process instead of obscuring it.

Instead, they saw an opportunity to benefit themselves at our expense and acted in Gross Breach of Trust, Treaty, and Commercial Service Contract owed to us and to our States of the Union.

Instead of making amends for any of this, and instead of seeking a peaceful resolution via confession and negotiation, the Pope and the Queen continue to interfere with our lawful government and to promote war on our shores.

This is the thanks we get for preserving them and their institutions through two World Wars.

This is what their “diplomacy” really amounts to—- ugly threats, obstruction, and interference in our internal affairs, even down to the level of spying on and trying to undermine President Trump.

The Pope and the Queen have cashiered away and benefited themselves from vast amounts of American assets including land, gold, and silver which they purloined for their use, “Human Resources” that they conscripted under force and conditions of constructive fraud and deceit, and intellectual property and material rights they have preyed upon.

If they wish to have peace in the world and friendship with America, it’s time to up-end and reverse course.

The United States of America is still here, still alive. Our lawful Persons are assembled and properly declared and constituted to collect and receive back the assets owed to us and our States of the Union: our land, our gold, our silver, our labor, our Good Names, our credit, and our peace.

Even if it is “impossible” to return everything that they have purloined, the Pope and the Queen and all their assorted minions, owe a Good Faith effort to do what they can to make amends and to cooperatively and peacefully assist us —a hundred and fifty years late— as we restore our lawful government to full function at all levels.

And there is certainly no excuse for either Principal Party, the Queen or the Pope, to meddle in elections, obstruct election outcomes, or to promote, instigate, or support any form of violence on our shores.

Let all Americans know and all the other people around the world know, too, what we— and they— are up against.

The Holy See has 185,000-plus mistakes to correct and that’s just for starters.

My Thanksgiving

Our family will be apart—again—this Thanksgiving. It has been more than a decade since we’ve seen our oldest son. It isn’t a matter of estrangement, it’s a matter of Duty Stations.

Our eldest daughter is clinging to life, beset by many health problems.
One is reminded of a magnificent bear beset by wolves.
No one malady can take her, but they hunt in packs.

Thyroid imbalance cooperates with adult onset diabetes and they collude with chronic back pain caused by a freak accident, and bit by bit, she slips away.

She won’t have the health to spare to come to our Thanksgiving table this year.

Our middle son is the typical rising star can-do-it-all guy, with all the problems that go with that. Has to work all the time, be on call, run, run, run.... lucky that he and his wife can slip away to a restaurant somewhere at the end of the day and pay someone for a shadow of a Thanksgiving Dinner.

So we will have what we have, with those similarly afflicted, and we will cobble together a time to cheer each other up, make the best of it, and be thankful for those blessings that remain.

My dog is still alive. An ancient Labrador Retriever that the vets gave up on more than a year ago, is still frisking in the snow and laughing at me with his eyes every morning.

My husband, who according to the experts, should have died a long time ago, is similarly ill-disposed to comply with the opinions of the doctors. His cheeks are pink, his eyes are bright, at pushing eighty, he is shoveling snow and clicking right along.

It appears that life and love do count for something, after all.
And we are blessed by friends both near and far. Those who love this country and who love the Earth and who love freedom, have come from all the corners of the Earth, and both in fact and in spirit, they will be here with us on Thanksgiving Day.

It’s not likely to be any big, fancy deal. Just a basic Thanksgiving Dinner with turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, green beans, cranberries.

And we will share that simple menu and be very grateful for it.

We will remember the Wild Turkeys that fed our forefathers and the domestic turkeys we raised ourselves in years gone by. We will remember the smell of the earth as we harvested potatoes and the blossoms of the beans nodding on the summer wind. We will remember picking wild rice and wild cranberries and the full moons of September and October rising above the lakes we have traveled in canoes from shore to shore.

We will remember every place we have ever called home, and all our friends and family, our co-workers, our mentors, and all those who made a difference in our lives for the better—those that are here with us and those who are gone. We will stop and savor “the All of it”.

The ebb and flow of seasons. The smell of pine and wood fires and snow. The snug feeling of being where we belong, and being who we are, and being at peace with the mystery that surrounds us.

And most of all, the mystery of being together in spite of everything that tries to keep us apart.

Grandma

It seems there is a picture in everyone's mind when you say the word, "Grandma".

My own Grandmother was tall and lean, with bright green eyes, and a wicked smile. She had her own sense of humor. When we'd fall down and scrape our knees (as long as it wasn't broken and only a temporary end of the world) she'd shake her head and say, "Come here, I'll pick you up."

Pretty soon, she'd have us laughing in spite of ourselves. Wincing and sobbing and laughing all at the same time. Mad at her. Loving her.

She loved rocks and minerals and was an inveterate observer of the landscape in all its detail. Give her a piece of beach and she happily walked along the strand for hours, peering bird-like at every bit of detritus, every shell. She had a fine eye for every nuance, and whether she was scanning the sand or the horizon, I always had the sense that she was seeing all of it.

And I do mean---- all of it.

Sometimes we'd hold hands and wade out into the surf for no reason, other than to feel the sea tugging and swirling around our bare feet.
Her eyes would go unfocused then, thinking of other times and places, of young men who went away to sea and never came back again, and very quietly, almost to herself, she'd sing songs in a surprisingly melodious voice.

Over the Sea to Skye. The Marine Hymn. Eternal Father.

It seems strange looking back that the sea had so much to do with our lives, considering that we lived most of the time in the middle of the continent, where the only seas were seas of grass.

My Father asked me to sing "Eternal Father" at his funeral, too, which I know must have sent a shock wave in all directions. Whoever heard of a daughter singing at her Father's funeral service? And such a song, at a graveside in the middle of Wisconsin?

Mine is not to reason why. That's what he asked of me. So, that's what I did.

Maybe it's because his Grand-Uncles were Admirals in the German Navy? Men who trained on the last of the Tall Ships, and who knew every sail and splice and knot, every kind of rope?

Their lives were supremely odd, too.

After the First World War, there wasn't much for a German Admiral to do. So they came to America and used their Midshipman skills learned on the Tall Ships, as trapeze artists traveling around with Barnum and Bailey's Circus.

When we went to visit them at their winter camp in Delavan, Wisconsin, they were so tall I barely came up to their knee caps, and very handsome and fit, despite being at least seventy years old by then. They had a merry gleam in their eyes despite all of it, and a small Fox Terrier named Bailey that knew every trick in any dog book ever written.

So my Grandmother, who loved the sea, and my Great-Granduncles, who were all about the same age, came to sit around the campfire in Wisconsin with snow all around, and more snow filtering down among the caravans parked there for the winter, and they wrapped her in a fur blanket and talked quietly about a world that was no more.

And I listened, quiet as a mouse in a room full of cats, hoping to catch a glimpse of it.

It was a gilded, glorious, hopeless age, the vanished Belle Epoque. The men went to sea and learned to fly stunt planes for fun. Grandma went to France and learned to play concert piano.

How could they ever dream that they'd wind up in Wisconsin? She, the matron of a dairy and herb farm, they, wearing funny costumes and flying on trapezes around the Big Top, a thousand miles from the sea?

Their lives seemed so tragic, yet, they all smiled about it just the same.
Come here, I'll pick you up.

They would never give up, so they could never taste defeat. Any of them. Not for any reason. Ever. That's just the way they were. Bon chance, mon ami.

And come the springtime when the apple trees were in bloom again, the two old knights rode up to her farmhouse on horseback just as the late afternoon sun touched the windows upstairs; I saw them and ran to the dooryard, staring in disbelief.

They were riding two of the biggest, shiniest, blackest horses I could even imagine, at least seventeen hands high at the shoulder. I suppose they borrowed them from the circus.

It was as if the past had come alive again, or as if it had never died. They swung easily down out of their saddles, attired in elegant gray tunics and trousers, wide, black leather belts and black leather riding boots. They were two figures out of a dream, stepped out of the old black and white tin-type photographs, and onto my Grandmother's doorstep.

Just in time for dinner, they said, and grinned like two school-boys up to a prank.

Come here, I'll pick you up.

What We See

I was driving down the road one day in early spring when there is still snow on the ground and my husband, who happened to be riding shotgun said, “Just look at all the red coming out.”

“Red?” I asked. “What red?”

He turned toward me, thunderstruck, and he waved at the countryside all around us.

“The red in the landscape,” he said in an incredulous tone of voice. “Don’t you see it?”

And all of a sudden, because he directed my attention to it, I could see it, too. I was amazed how much red there was in all the buds and budded branches. There was red wherever I looked, but I had never noticed it before that moment.

It was my turn to be thunderstruck. My husband, the artist, had always seen the red in the landscape and took it for granted that I and everyone else saw it, too.

Not necessarily, it turns out. In fact, it turns out that our ability to see color and identify different colors is directly tied to our early experience naming colors.

If we don’t know the name for burnt umber or burnt sienna we don’t make a distinction and only see “brown”.

Since then I have come to learn that we all are different and see different things, know different things, and no, we can’t take for granted that others see the same things we do.

There are many things that I see and take for granted that others don’t see at all. I was reminded of this again last night, when I realized that many of the State Assembly Coordinators and State Assembly members don’t yet know how important their work really is.
Or why.

So I explained how the banks and our erstwhile Federal Subcontractors and various other countries had planned to claim the assets of our States and our People as abandoned property.

That “greatest wealth transfer in the history of the world” you keep hearing odd references to? That was our wealth they were talking about transferring and dividing up. It was our country that they “presumed” was without a government because the Reconstruction was left hanging.

And God knows that via their various schemes to mis-characterize us as British Territorials and Municipal “citizens of the United States”, they had done their best to de-populate our country on paper.

According to them, there were no American State Citizens left, therefore no State Governments and no States, either. And without the actual State Governments there couldn’t be a Reconstruction of the Confederation and no Federation of States doing business as The United States of America.

To hear them tell it (just listen to Karen Hudes on this topic) our actual government had disappeared and been “held in abeyance” for 150 years. We hadn’t been heard from. The foreign subcontractors had been left in charge of the shop, but the actual Americans and their government were “missing, presumed lost at sea.”

And all the while of course, our erstwhile public servants were busy deliberately misidentifying us as Brits and Papists, even “stateless disregarded entities”—- anything and everything but what we self-evidently are.

We were asleep at the wheel and after being asleep for 150 years, what were the chances of us waking up and taking up the reins of self-governance again?

It must have been a big joke in certain circles.

Hot dog, they figured, they would just charge our credit up to the max, spending on all sorts of things for themselves and their friends, and when the bill came due, they would seek bankruptcy protection for themselves, stand back—and let their creditors take our stuff as payment for their debts.

That, Mr.Trump, is why America has always been paying the lion’s share of all these international expenses. That’s why we have been stuck paying for 900-plus military bases all over the world, the reason we were paying the defense and police costs for NATO, donating the Big Bucks to Israel, and almost single-handedly paying the tab for the UN.

That, too, is why our gold and silver assets have been cashiered away “in safekeeping” — offshore, purportedly “for” us in our “absence”, but in reality used by these False Friends as giant slush funds and collateral for them to borrow against and use to rig commodity and currency markets worldwide.

This is why we always take it in the shorts on every trade deal, too, and the reason that there has been no major infrastructure investment in this country since Eisenhower built the Interstate Highway System.

Our “Trustees”, the Pope and the Queen, have been busy spending our money and our blood on whatever they and their pals wanted anywhere around the world, and we have been paying it without as much as a thank you, while our wealth has been taken away offshore, ready to be claimed as “abandoned assets” once the Perpetrators decided to roll up the rug here and take all their ill-gotten gains to new digs in China—-leaving us to the tender mercies of their creditors, stripped bare, living as tenants of the Crown and the Pope in our own country.

Until we woke up, folks, there was no way to stop that from happening.

Nobody had the standing to claim back our assets and say— “Hey, wait a minute. We are not British Territorials. We are not Municipal citizens of the United States, either. What’s going on here? We’re Americans—- look around the room: Texans, Virginians, Wisconsinites, Ohioans, Georgians...,”
But...,

All our political status records have been carefully falsified without us knowing it, and until we correct that we have no standing to correct anything else.

So we begin by claiming our own estate, then assembling our State of the Union, and then, together, our country as a whole.

Our hands were tied and we didn’t even know it. We were being set up by the Popes and the British Monarchs to carry theirs debts and their friends’ debts, and even to pay for our own destruction, too.

So when a handful of Americans woke up and said, “Whoa!”—-it must have been a terrible shock, but not enough to convince the conspirators that their plot wouldn’t work.

After all, they reasoned, there were all these other countries in on it, too. Everyone was set to get a piece of America.

So they plowed right onward and worked double-time, stealing all that they could via bogus mortgages and foreclosures and the collection of income taxes we never owed and property taxes on our own land that we never owed, either.

But then something happened.

Enough of us woke up and corrected our political status records.
Enough of us manned our old “Ship of State”, The United States of America, and claimed back our birth States.

And now we are only 14 States away from total assembly of all 50 States. Let’s put the hammer down and finish the job now.

Our properly Constituted State Assemblies are proof that our People are still populating our States of the Union and that our State
Governments still stand and that our Federation of States of the Union, The United States of America, stands, too.

Our State Assemblies prove that our country is not “depopulated” and not abandoned, not without our own lawful government, and, our assets are not “abandoned” either.

Our State Assemblies have many vital abilities, not the least of which is the right and authority to enforce the Constitutions and to direct the State of State Legislatures concerning State Trust Assets and the administration thereof.

The dog can resume control of its own tail, thank you, very much. All this criminal activity and corruption can cease now. And it is all because of our properly constituted State Assemblies.

For the first time in 150 years the actual States are presenting themselves.

So—to the fourteen States still lagging behind— do you want a bunch of foreigners to seize everything that is owed to you and your State?
Your land? Your share of the gold and silver? Your share of the National Credit? Your share of the 20,000 tons of gold FDR racketeered from your grandparents and great-grandparents?
Are you going to stand there like stumps?

You have a birthright, a fabulous inheritance that is owed to you.
All you have to do is follow the logical steps to correct your own falsified political status records, and then self-govern by organizing your State Assembly.

Once the States are back in order, we will move on and finish the long overdue “Reconstruction” of the Confederation of the States of America. Each State will organize a business organization to function as a “State of State” for it, and the restoration will be complete.

So, do you see the red yet?

The Only Solution

This morning I awaken to three typical Complainers yammering at me.

They all have problems with the current "justice" system.

They all want me to give them solutions to their problems with this system.

When I suggest correcting their political status, joining their State Assembly, and operating their own government, they react like wet cats.

You expect us to self-govern? THAT's the solution to my custody battle? My divorce? My DUI? My foreclosure? My (and the list goes on and on)?

Yes.

Self-governance is the answer.

Every day the madmen in DC and all their affiliates in all fifty-seven "states" in their system add more "laws" to what their citizens have to obey. There are now more than 80 million such laws on the books.

Even a backwater place like Alaska adds 200-300 new "laws" per year.
Over the course of a decade, that's 2,000 to 3,000 brand new laws for you to know and obey.

Each one of those "laws" is an opportunity for the State of State system to collect revenue for itself and to coerce you. Every single one of those "laws" amounts to a tax on the people participating in their system of things.

The only thing that keeps it in check is the expense of enforcing all this burdensome idiocy.

So, do you want to be free? Or a slave?

Being free means that you correct your political status records and join your State Assembly and govern yourself according to The Ten Commandments as your ancestors did.

You can live under ten Laws or 80,000,000 statutes.

If you choose to live under 80,000,000 statutes, don't come running to me to gripe. I've already told you what the problem is and how you can not only avoid it, but control it.

If you don't get busy and do what has to be done, nobody can do it for you.

Many of you are confused and think that Americans live under Federal Code.

The only people who live under Federal Code are British Territorial United States Citizens---mostly US military personnel and their dependents.

Many of you are further confused and think that Americans live under Municipal Code.

The only people who live under Municipal Code are "citizens of the United States" --- mostly Federal Civil Service employees and their dependents.

If you are an American, you need to come home, and self-govern. And tell your public servants what you expect of them, too.

Why It's Always the Navy

If you go to the US Patent and Trademark Office and start reviewing patents held by the US NAVY you will see some truly criminal and deceitful patented processes. Things that will make your hair curl and your blood boil. And it is all right there, in their own words, with their names and addresses on it.

And then, the more you trot around the world, you realize that it is always the Navy causing trouble. Just like Britain, the Navy is always at the bottom of the dog pile. All roads in skullduggery go back to.... the Navy.

Not the Army. Not the Air Force. It's always, predictably, the Navy that causes trouble. And there is a reason for that.

The Navy is controlled on the High Seas and Navigable Inland Waterways by the British Monarch.

That gives the British Monarch quite a wide latitude to curry influence and direct operations of the Navy---- and to cause trouble for America and Americans.

Over time, many senior "American" naval personnel get mixed up about who they actually serve and how this system is supposed to work. They even mistake such concepts as "Commander-in-Chief" of all military forces.

Recently we have had several flare ups of the Navy kind. Two admiral-rank naval officers defied direct orders from President Trump and nearly caused a Bay of Pigs situation before being shut down.
Now, the Secretary of the Navy has been fired by his boss, the Secretary of Defense.

What it all comes down to is insubordination--thinking that because the Queen plays such a dominant role in naval operations out on the High Seas, that her command structure is the important one.

That, and forgetting who they all actually work for-- the American States and People -- which is a common problem both in the military and the Federal Civil Service.

As you study history you will notice that there is a long and shady connection between the US Navy--- meaning both the Territorial United States Navy and the Municipal US NAVY--- and all sorts of disastrous, corrupt, and politically-motivated actions.

Why was it that the Municipal Carrier Fleet was saved and the old battleships were sacrificed at Pearl Harbor?

What really happened with the Lusitania? The Titanic? The USS Liberty?

The Boxer Rebellion? Hong Kong? The Bay of Tonkin?

We've seen the gross abuses of FDR's Administration in so many mirrors, should it surprise us that the Prime Suspect and Bone Carrier of British Ambition during WWII was the Navy, too?

Should we be surprised that the United States Navy spirited our gold away to the Philippines for "safe keeping"?

Or that the US NAVY carried all the paperwork associated with our phony Birth Certificate ESTATES from Puerto Rico to Europe, just before Puerto Rico was devastated by a man-made hurricane geoengineered by the US Navy? (Oh, yes, they have the patents on all that, too.)

Or that the US Naval Observatory was involved directly and indirectly with the 9/11 Cover Up? Or that Annapolis has long been the seedbed of elitism and secret society activity in the US Military?

Why was it a Navy task force investigating financial aberrations that was targeted during the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon?

Should we be surprised that career officers in other branches of the service routinely refer to the Navy as "Navy Pukes"?
They aren't talking about sea-sickness.

It's always the Navy. Don't even stop to check your watch.
And unfortunately, with the Queen and the Pope working together hand-in-glove, the problems with the Navy are exacerbated a hundred-fold.

Why? Because the profane "religion" of the Satanist Liars is a sea-going religion, too.

It started in the sea ports of Babylon and traveled West to the shores of the Mediterranean at Balbek near modern Tel Aviv, through Turkey and Greece on the north side of that sea, and to Carthage on the south; from Greece it traveled to Bulgaria and eventually to the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, from Carthage it went to Rome and from Rome to Ireland and Cornwall and Wales, and also to Portugal.

The Phoenicians adopted this religion whole-heartedly, hence our use of the slang word "phony" to describe anything that is bogus, misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent to this day.

The Dutch version of this profane religion settled in New York along with the rogue Dutch East India Company commercial fleet in 1702. The British version, the British Crown, was already here.

Where was Satan "cast down"? The sea.

Who invented Liar's Dice, "liberty" as opposed to "freedom", press-ganging, and debtor's prison?

Do you think that maybe, perhaps, there is a reason that "Withholding Agents" are all Warrant Officers in the British Merchant Marine Service?

And who was it who made the bulk of their money trafficking everything, including slaves and tobacco --- one of the original "controlled substances" that the Federal Government regulated and taxed for funding?

It's always the Navy--- just like its always the Brits--- and not least because the British Monarchs have maintained an improper influence and control over the US Navy, and have regularly abused this delegated power entrusted to them.

Ambulance Call -- Nation on Life Support

Listen up. There are three governments active in this country.

They are: the Queen's British Territorial United States Government, the Pope's Municipal United States Government, and last but not least, the actual American United States Government, dba The United States of America.

Because both the Queen's Government and the Pope's Government are operated as for-profit incorporated entities in the business of providing governmental services, they operate like other big transnational incorporated entities --- think GE, Raytheon, Mitsubishi, etc.

They use "Public Policies" set by their Boards of Directors which are then rendered into administrative codes ---- Federal Code that directs the Territorial Government, and Municipal Code that directs the Federal Civil Service.

These codes are interpreted and enforced by in-house Tribunals, operating as MUNICIPAL COURTS and as District Courts, respectively, at the Federal level, and at the State Franchise level by STATE OF STATE Municipal Courts and State of State Territorial Courts.

State Franchises are just like Dairy Queen franchises of the two foreign federal corporations providing us with "governmental services". Same menu, same agenda, all bound to act in sync and according to the directive of their parent corporations.

Each of these foreign "service providers" are subcontractors of our actual American Government.

Unlike the foreign entities here to provide us with "essential government services" per Article IV of our constitutional contracts with them, our government is a living government, not an incorporated business structure.

Our ancestors vested all sovereignty associated with this country in the living people and Lawful Persons thereof.

That's why our government is known as "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" and not as "government of the persons, by the persons, and for the persons."

Unfortunately, thanks to immoral and improper actions undertaken by our erstwhile Federal Subcontractors, our political status records have been falsified and we have been misidentified as either British Territorial United States Citizens or Municipal Government "citizens of the United States", instead of being recorded and recognized as being American State Nationals and/or American State Citizens.

This falsification of our political status records has been done for a variety of self-interested reasons -- to facilitate taxing us, to control us by subjecting us to foreign courts and statutes, but also to claim that we, as a nation and as a country doing business as The United States of America--- no longer exist.

No Americans means no American State Citizens and no American States. No American States means no Constitutions and a whole continent wide open to be claimed as "Abandoned Property".

That is what the Queen, the Pope, the Central Banks, and a host of other Bad Actors have been up to: to bring false claims of abandonment against our lawful government and use that as an excuse to claim that all our assets belong to them.

It's a criminal enterprise engaged in under Gross Breach of Trust, which, by Maxim of Law is equivalent to Fraud.

And you, Joe Average Americans, are the potential victims of this heinous plot brought to you by your own employees.

This is to inform you that your lawful government, The United States of America, is not dead. It's still alive and still defending you, but it is on life support. Unless you get off your duff and breathe life back into it and into your own State of the Union, it could be gone, and then what?

You get "re-settled" like the Irish population was "resettled" in the 1850's and 60's. Maybe you will get to live in those gleaming, unoccupied cities the Chinese Government built in the Gobi Desert, but you will lose everything you have here, everything that is rightfully yours.

So, your options are: (1) do nothing and let this happen; or, (2) correct your political status by declaring and recording the fact that you are an American State National; and then, (3) act as a State Citizen to self-govern your State of the Union.

To date, thirty-six out of fifty States of the Union have been officially re-populated and State Assemblies formed. If your State is one of those lagging behind in this process, don't stop to ask the reason why. Go to: www.TheAmericanStatesAssembly.net and take action to save your own bacon and your State of the Union now.

Those States that don't answer the call and assemble will be considered vacated and fair game for the abandoned property claims. Get yourselves and your States out of this wringer now.
